Vernissage – Silvia DE BASTIANI : watercolor painter – Galerie d’art Barbara Thollot

Opening reception for watercolor artist Silvia DE BASTIANI at the Barbara Thollot Art Gallery.

SILVIA DE BASTIANI I was born in Feltre (Belluno, Italy) in 1981. I live and work in the Primiero Valley in the Dolomites (Trentino region). I have been interested in graphic arts since I was a child. I graduated with honors in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and then obtained a master's degree in Visual and Performing Arts at the same academy. I specialized in the watercolor technique, working even on very large formats and returning a unique image balanced between figuration and abstraction. My themes are mostly those of the Alpine landscape, which I also like to represent en plein air. It is precisely the experience of painting from life that enriches my works with an even more personal sensitivity and language. After my studies I began exhibiting in numerous shows and collaborating with several galleries. Alongside my painting activity, I deliver workshops in nature where I share my experience of painting from life. I am represented by the Salamon Fine Art Gallery based in Milan.
